I'll have to get replica zl1 wheels though cause the real deals are... well not deals at all!
I have the replicas 20x10 with 275/40/20 toyo proxies wrapped around them.

I bet that gives you a pretty solid footprint on the road! Are you lowered any?

Yup, I was gonna go out for a few passes but it rained today so that didn't happen. And it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so that might get cancelled (plus tomorrow is an event, more than just a test-and-tune so it probably wouldn't be the best time to run).

My friends will be at a wedding too. So I'm solo this weekend... which means I may or may not be mischievous.

The 20 is how tall the wheel is (what you see from the side) and the 9 and 10 are how wide the wheels are (what you'd see if you look from behind). 9 would be more than enough, 10's would give you a little more width all around if you wanted. For comparison, your wheels now are 7.5" wide.

Go big or go home, nah I didn't go with 20x10 for any specific reason besides for a wider tire for better traction. One of these days when I go FI I'm sure I will be able to utilize it better.

We'll see. I'm long overdue for trouble. I'm gonna do something really mischievous, like eat dessert before dinner! Or pay for a soda pop with quarters and dimes. Mwahaha
You'll be set with those wheels!

I'm in the same boat. But painting isn't a good idea when it's raining; the humidity usually makes the paint haze over. Darn, do you have the stock washer bottle or do you have a relocate kit?
If only there was a video hand out that I wanted to play.

That would be cool! Hanging out and working on cars are two of my favorite things.

That is true. I have a relocator kit but there is a short somewhere in the wires or at the connector where the wires come together that is causing my fuze to blow constantly. I am hoping it is the actual connector since that is cheap and easy to replace.
